Tsurenko appeared to injury herself stretching to reach a serve, with a physio administering lengthy court-side treatment before she eventually calling it a day five points later.

Muguruza will now face Maria Sharapova, who advanced into the last eight after Serena Williams sensationally withdrew with an arm injury.
